Repugnant was formed by guitarist and vocalist Mary Goore in June 1998. The following eighteen months saw the band establishthemselves in the global underground circuit with debut demo cassette “Spawn of Pure Malevolence” and 7’ep “Hecatomb” selling thousandsworldwide.

In 2000, the band signed to Dutch record label Hammerheart Records with the intention of releasing a full length album on the label.However, due to sudden line-up changes and the overall inexperience of the band of how to handle dysfunctional personnel situations (whichin turn lead to a postponement of the intentional album recording), Repugnant was found a wee bit too difficult to work with for Hammerheartand was therefore released from the contract.

In order to restore order and refine their act, a new line-up of Repugnant took a step back from the full length plans and released a seconddemo cassette; “Draped in Cerecloth” in September 2001.This four song recording attracted even further recognition in the underground and lead to the collaboration with another Dutch label, whomtook upon them to release Repugnants' debut album; “Epitome of Darkness”.

Unfortunately, the album was extensively delayed and in the wake of its.. arrival, Repugnant collapsed after a tour in the spring of 2004.
